Sealey 1025HL User manual

Your new Jack is produced and manufactured to a high standard of dependability and will, if used according to these instructions and properly
maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
USE THIS JACK CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS
3.1. Before first use.
3.1.1. Before using jack for the first time, purge the hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any air in the system. Place handle (fig.1.H) onto the
release valve (B) and open valve by turning the handle anti-clockwise, place handle back into the jacking point (A) and pump for 30 to
40 seconds. When complete, close the release valve by turning the valve (B) clockwise.
3.1.2. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on pump piston and pump handle several times to distribute oil. Thoroughly lubricate moving parts.
3.2. General jacking.
 WARNING! When lifting at the jack's maximum rating (2.25tonne) or close to it, it is recommended
that the effort of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and understood.
3.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on which
the jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).
3.2.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
3.3. Jacking the vehicle.
3.3.1. Place the handle onto the release valve (B) and turn it clockwise to close the valve. Place handle
into socket (A) and commence pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until the jack
saddle reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on the saddle
and raise the vehicle.
3.3.2. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support the load.
3.4. Lowering the vehicle.
3.4.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then place handle on release valve (B) and
turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
3.4.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate which
would shock load the hydraulic system.
 WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
HIGH LIFT TROLLEY JACK
MODEL No: 1025HL
Ensure the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. The use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit, work area.
Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in.
Place wedges under wheels of vehicle (but ensure wheels of jack can move freely).
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “Park” if automatic).
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for vehicle tilting.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Only place jack saddle under those lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
Check the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
 WARNING! When lifting at the jack's maximum rating (2.25tonne) or close to it, it is recommended
that the effort of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
 DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Use a qualified person to maintain or repair the jack hydraulic system.
 DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
 DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack, or use the jack to move the
vehicle.
 DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous
substances.
 DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.
 DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is intended.
 DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
 DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.
Ideal for the garage or serious enthusiast, suitable for 4x4s, cars
or light commercial vehicles which require high ground clearance.
Strong double rolled long chassis conguration provides 1.2metres
of access, including the handle. Also suitable for loading bodyshop

4.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove
the handle to inactivate jack.
4.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
4.3. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to ram,
pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any
suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
4.4. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean
oiled cloth.
4.5. After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
 IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
4.6. To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove front cover plate (fig.1.C) and filler plug (fig.2.O). The
correct level is the bottom of the screw hole. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack up to full
height and pour off excess oil
before refitting plug and cover plate. DO NOT touch the safety overload valve (fig.2.V),
NOTE: Use a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack oil as this may cause serious damage to the jack
and will invalidate the warranty!
4.7. To drain the oil, remove the filler plug and raise front of jack. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system.
